c. Routing
d. Expediting
6. Aggregate planning is concerned with determining the quantity and timing of production
in the
a. Short term
b. Long term
c. Next term
d. Intermediate term
7. Inventory level increases unnecessarily when,
a. The plant capacity is less than the demand of product
b. The plant capacity is more than the demand of the product
c. Both plant capacity and demand of the product are high
d. Plant capacity and demand of the product are same
8. Correct statement with reference to the capacity planning
a. Capacity planning seeks to match demand to available resources
b. Capacity planning examines what systems are in place, measures their performance,
and determines patterns in usage that enables the planner to predict demand
 c. Resources are provisioned and allocated to meet demand
d. All of the above
9. Characteristics features which promotes the short product life cycles is/are
a. Uncertainty of technological advancement
b. High reliability
c. Product expansion
d. All of the above
10. In a plant, design capacity, system capacity, and actual capacity are 500, 450, 400 units
respectively, then the plant utilization will be
a. 10 %
b. 20 %
c. 80 %
d. 90 %
Solution: Plant utilization = Actual output / design capacity =400/500=0.8= 80%
